Conditional on war: major equity indices (S&P 500 / European indices) decline in the weeks following the invasion.

Minor nuance: the S&P actually reversed to close UP on invasion day (24 Feb) and briefly rebounded in late March before falling again — but 'in the weeks following the invasion' the index was clearly lower, so the criterion is met.

Evidence of what happened

  • War broke out (invasion 24 Feb 2022), triggering the conditional. S&P 500 fell 2.4% on invasion day to a nine-month low; Nasdaq 100 dropped 2.9% into bear-market territory. Over the following weeks equities remained weak — S&P 500 closed 24 Feb at ~4,288 and was down ~8% (~3,941) three months later; by the 13 May 2022 deadline the S&P traded near ~4,020, below the invasion-day close. European indices (Stoxx 600/DAX) also sold off sharply. Matches criterion of major indices declining in the weeks after the invasion.

    Evidence

  • Bloomberg: 'S&P 500 Plunges to Nine-Month Low as Russia Invades Ukraine' — 10 of 11 sectors lower, energy the main exception. Corroborates the immediate and sustained equity weakness in the weeks following the invasion.
